Many film lovers try to get cinematic experience on their mobile phones or laptops. With a boom of websites like Bollyshare, many film lovers, who can’t wait for the film to release or want to watch movies without spending a penny, are able to download or stream these movies online illegally. The decade has witnessed a boom of a dramatic amount of such websites promoting piracy and allowing people to download or stream the latest movies and TV shows.
These websites are causing huge damage to the film industries. Many fans try to get the cinematic experience through a pirated website but do you think a phone or a laptop can provide you a vibe like a cinema hall? Watching a movie on a big screen with your loved ones can never be matched by watching a movie on a phone in your hand. Websites like Bollyshare are the platforms that are the root cause of the increasing digits of digital piracy in the world. The menace of piracy is hitting the industry hard, causing damage to reach millions of Dollars. It’s our chief duty not to promote any kind of piracy and try to watch movies in cinema halls only.
Piracy should not be encouraged as it is simply stealing others efforts for free and then distributing in the market. Artists, Filmstars, Directors and other people in the entertainment industry work hard, day and night just to provide us with entertaining content. If their hard work is not paid properly, then it is a big demotivation for the artists. Their hard work deserves respect as well as proper payment. Piracy hits these artists in a big way. Not only their work is distributed at a very low rate but in the process of downloading their content illegally, we are disrespecting them to a great extent. Hence, it should hit our conscience, and we should realize what harm we are causing by buying pirated movies, TV series or even music.
So, in order to respect our favorite artists and keep the entertainment industry running and booming, we should always ensure to buy original content instead of the privacy version of it.

What is the government doing to stop piracy?
The government is trying hard to stop these websites from encouraging piracy of movies in India. The government is passing bills frequently to upgrade the piracy laws in India. Some of the strict measures taken by the Indian judiciary regarding digital piracy is blocking of 184 pirated websites by the Supreme Court and 110 by the High Court of India. The government is approximating a ban of more than 800 such websites but isn’t taking action because of incomplete digits.
What will happen if I download movies illegally in India?
The government of India has made piracy laws very strict in the country. Though the government is trying hard to discourage piracy through banning piracy websites on the internet, the thing has much more than it seems to the eyes. These sites come up with new domain extensions every day, making it challenging for the government to find them.
The government has established a penal code for defining and punishing the people convicted for digital piracy. The sections 63, 63A, 65, 65A of the Copyrights Act, 1957 hold a person guilty for committing a crime like piracy. According to the sections,
There are several other ways through which pirates can copy a movie. Piracy can be done while watching the movie too. Pirates use a device to record the movie inside the movie theater and then sell a copy of it in the market. This kind of piracy is known as Camcorder Piracy. The device used to record the movie is known as a Camcorder. But recording through phone or any other device for recording is also considered a crime under the camcorder piracy. But these prints aren’t up to the mark.
The local ISPs assist the government in eradicating this menace from the country. Not every downloader in the country can be penalized because of their large number. Hence, local ISPs prove to be the best resort. If you’re browsing a pirated website through your local ISP, you may receive a warning from your ISP for discontinuing the use of the website. But still, these websites are browsed in large numbers by using a VPN, which makes it difficult to track them.
The government tries to protect the filmmakers by granting copyright, which makes them sole reproducers of the digital copyright content and if anyone else is found having an illegal copy of the material, he/she would be convicted under the Copyrights Act, 1957. The owner of the copyrighted material has the authority to take-down any website promoting the piracy of his content through a notice from the court. But again, the pirates and the downloaders are so large in number that everyone can’t be prosecuted or penalized.
Not only online, but piracy is committed in physical form also. This is through vendors and shops in markets. These vendors sell pirated content in DVDs or transfer the content in a pen drive. Pirated content includes movies, songs, games, and many others. These vendors sell these DVDs at very cheap prices to attract large numbers of customers. Hence, these markets are very popular for pirated content and you can find most of the youth film lovers here buying these CDs.
How can you stop digital piracy?
Film industries are incurring tremendous losses because of digital piracy. The leak of movies on the internet affects their box office collection drastically. If not stopped at this point, it can become even bigger in the future. Therefore, all of us need to put collective efforts to uproot this problem from the world.
One way of doing this is to create awareness among the people that piracy is a crime. Most of the people download or stream pirated websites because they are unaware of piracy being illegal and a punishable offense. They are unaware of the piracy laws in India.
Another way of discouraging piracy is by establishing more and more legal websites/apps for movies and TV shows. Some of such websites are Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Voot, and many others. How will they help? They provide incentives to the people as a pirated website does. The subscriptions of these websites are affordable and come in various membership options. For example, recently Disney+ and Hotstar launched a new website providing the latest movies and originals, at an affordable subscription of Rs.399 per year. Such websites are economical and provide the latest content legally.
Police should also act wisely and honestly. They should carefully look for piracy going on in a market. CDs and DVDs of pirated movies are sold openly by vendors in markets and never get banned. Police should deny bribes and try their best to discourage piracy in the country.
Local ISPs play a vital role in curbing piracy in the country. You may receive a warning from your ISP if you try to download movies from these websites. But still, people use VPN to access these websites. The government also blocks these websites. But these websites keep changing their domain extensions and hence, appear as a new site every time the government bans them.
The team members of the film should also stay loyal to the team. Most of the time, it is an inside member who provides the content to the pirates for a small amount.
If we stop using these websites, the websites will automatically shut down due to a lack of revenue. These websites earn revenue from advertisements on their website. These ads are pay per click ads. If you don’t visit these websites, these websites won’t get revenue and hence, shut down.
Conclusion
Stopping digital piracy is a need to protect the filmmakers. Digital piracy is causing unbearable losses to the film industry. Films are made with sheer efforts, zeal, and investment. We should respect their back-breaking efforts and watch movies in cinema halls only, rather than downloading them from some illegal websites.
We should at all cost stop encouraging piracy and stop buying pirated content from sellers. This way, piracy can be reduced. Also, we need to educate people about the cons of buying pirated movies and they should also know by even downloading illegal content from the internet is also a crime. Hence, in order to avoid any bad consequence, they should not download any movies, web series or any other content from websites like Bollyshare.
